STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Sir/Madam,
I know you will be surprised to read from me, but please consider this
letter as request from a family in dare need for your assistance. Firstly, I
must introduce myself, I am MR. JOHN NDLOVU from Zimbabwe, I am the first
and the only son of MR. PAUL NDLOVU, I am presently residing in South
Africa.
I got your contact from the South Africa Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) in
Johannesburg and on behalf of my Mother who is a widow MRS. ROSE NDLOVU. I
decided to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of US$20Million
(Twenty Million United States Dollars) in your personal or company account.
Before my father's death he was among the few black Zimbabwean farmer and he
was poisoned by the agents of the ruling government of President Robert
Mugabe for his alleged support and sympathy for Zimbabwe opposition party
controlled by the White Minority. Before his death, he had taken me to
Johannesburg to deposit this money to a Security and Finance Company. This
money was deposited in a box as a gemstone to avoid much demurrage from the
Security Company. It was also earmarked for the purchase of new machinery
and chemicals for the farms and to establish new farms in Lesotho and
Swaziland.
In his WILL he specially drew my attention to this sum of US$20Million
(Twenty Million United States Dollars) that he deposited in a safe box in a
private Security and Finance Company here in Johannesburg, South Africa.
IN FACT, MY FATHER SAID IN HIS WILL AND QUOTE:
My beloved son, I wish to draw your attention to this money which I
deposited in your name in a box with the Security and Finance Company in
Johannesburg, South Africa. In case of my absence on earth caused by death,
you should solicit for a reliable foreign partner to assist you to transfer
this money out of South Africa for investment purpose.
>From the above, you will understand that the live and future of my family
depends on this money as much as I will be very grateful if you can assist
us. We are now living in South Africa as Asylum seekers and financial laws
of South Africa does not allow Asylum seekers certain rights to such huge
amount of money. In view of this, I cannot invest this money in South
Africa, hence I am asking you to assist me to transfer this money out of
South Africa for investment purpose. For your efforts, I am prepared to
offer you 25% of the total fund, while 5% will be set aside for local and
international expenses and 70% will be kept by my family and me. Finally,
modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we
establish trust and confidence between ourselves.
Looking forward to your reply and please treat as very urgent.
Best Regards
JOHN NDLOVU
